Thanks for producing more useful Cyprus content, it's great! :) Would love to hear how people in Cyprus feel about current political conflict? What are the economical consequences going to be for Cyprus as I understand Russians bring the most money to the tourism there?
End of your video 9:16 very informative, thank you!!! I highly recommending to buy completely new car, in the end you will save money. Seat Ibiza, Skoda Fabia, Dacia Sandero, Tesla - any of them, but new. If you must by used, take only VW Golf, Polo, Opel Astra,...
Hey Rico, im planning on moving to Cyprus in July from Canada. I have a 2016 Mustang GT, and i really dont want to let it go. I wanted to bring it with me, ship it over etc. But it is a left hand drive car. Any suggestions on if its possible and how to do it? Knowing the cars there are right hand drive. Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated.
Hey there! Insane to see how people from all over the world move to Cyprus. Even from lovely Canada! Maybe the weather, haha! Honestly, I understand and respect your decision, however, I personally recommend you to sell it. Even though it's emotional, you will not like driving on the other side for long. We do have many Mustangs here as well, that you could buy. BUT, if you 100% want to stay with your car, you can bring it to Greece, or Germany Hamburg, and from there you can ship it to Cyprus. I can give you the contacts for the shipping companies, if you reach out to me via my website. Just google my name Ricardo Gorski. Have a nice day, and all the best to you!
i am thinking of semi retiring in cyprus.as my landrover defender is a right hand drive from Ireland and is quite popular in Cyprus i was toying with the idea of driving it over and making a holiday of it on the way down to Athens.the ferry service to Cyprus seems to be seasonal and not very regular.Maybe you could do a bit of research on that and make another topic on this on your youtube channel
how is your experience after 1 year? I had car like this for 5 years (bought for 2800). Repairs over those years costed me I think 3 times the car price I've paid. Then when it broke severely I've waisted another 3k for the rental cars while I was waiting for repairs. In the end I ended up spending price of a decent car. I was not able to buy better car back then though but if you can - go for newer car. Those old cars are not "economy" version. Also you pay with stress - I was always stressed about it will break any time (which it did constantly).
First to comment. Another nice video and banger, thanks. Still waiting for the video for crypto and how to use it with in Cyprus and also how to look for a job in Cyprus (like sites where Cyprus jobs ads are placed).
Hey, thanks a lot for your message. Video about Crypto will come once official regulations are published, before that it's just speculation. :) Thank you very much for watching my videos, happy to have a cool and supporting community!!!
If I'm an Eu citizen with cypress yellow slip meu1 can I register a car in cyprus and then transport it to the mainland to travel around the EU? or maybe register a car in cyprus that I buy outside of cyprus. I'm curious in van life as a digital nomad. Do I have to stay in cyprus for a certain number of days in a year to keep my meu1 residency?
Hey Rico! Thanks for the video, good tips mate. I just recently moved to Paphos and thinking about buying a car. Can you tell me about this mechanic guy to hire to come with me checking out some cars?
Hi Rico, great content, and not just with this video, but all of them! Do you have any idea if I can drive my own car ( registered outside Cyprus, but still from EU ) in Cyprus, and for how long? ( legally ). So basically, is it mandatory to register it in Cyprus or I can drive it like that as well, if I move for a long term? Thank you.
Hey there! First, I'd ask why would you import a car? It makes most sense to just buy a normal car here in Cyprus. But if you have a strong reason to still do it, then yes, I have seen some cars with other EU license plates, but I don't see many. And I'm not sure how the regulation is. :) Hope it helps.
@@Rico thanks Rico. Meanwhile I did some more research and found out that you are allowed to drive it for 6 months as long as the residence is still outside Cyprus. Since I want to move there completely and for a longer term it does not make sense. I will sell it and buy one there I guess. I will definitely message you once I am there so we can chat while having a coffee. By the way, George here :). Take care!
@@Rico There is a good reason to import a car: you are aware of your current car's condition. As you described in the video and experienced yourself, it is easy to run into a seller who hides a few important details about the car away from you. I mean, yeah, if you want a cheap car, then it's okay, cause the cost of repair won't be that much. But if you own a relatively good car (> 20000 euros) at home and you sell it and want to buy something from the same category, it can be quite risky if there is a serious issue with the car. And even if you hire a car mechanic to inspect the desired vehicle, he does not have all the necessary tools at disposal to identify all the possible problems.
@@gabesz666 Legit point. However, most cars in Central Europe have the steering wheel on the left side. This will be very uncomfortable in CY driving on the left side. I'd say importing from the UK is actually fine, but in the case of EU, I would personally sell it.
Hello Rico. Thanks for your time to give everyone this info. Can you please tell me how long time i can drive car in Cyprus which is with left dirección like all cars in Europe. This summer me and my family want to come in Cyprus, from Netherlands.!? Thanks
Sorry again. For just around 1000eur its a option to change from left to right hand. My car is from 2009 not much kms and everything changed. I am the first owner and i treating carefully all the time. Its peugeot 3008 automát diesel. Do you thing its a good option to do that change? Thanks
@@evgenidanailov210 No, I don't think so. My personal opinion is to sell the car in the Netherlands and buy a new one here. Shipping is also very expensive. BUT, if you have an emotional connection to the car, and you don't care about the extra costs, you can do it. It's just something I don't recommend.
Love your videos, so much good info. And I am moving to Cyprus, I was there and this is the island for me. So much peace !!
Thank you very much and yes, Cyprus is beautiful, welcome to the island, great choice!
Thanks for producing more useful Cyprus content, it's great! :) Would love to hear how people in Cyprus feel about current political conflict? What are the economical consequences going to be for Cyprus as I understand Russians bring the most money to the tourism there?
We have not found any economical consequences so far.
Always a pleasure Rico. We have now moved to Cyprus and your videos have really helped. Now looking at a car.
That makes me very happy, all the best to you and welcome to the island! :)
Nice info bro! Thanks am actually buying a car atm! Keep it up
Hi bro!

Any recommendation about how to rent a car meanwhile looking for a car to buy?
Hey, yeah, definitely looking for a rental online. There are many comparison websites.
